After a lot of good work by kindergarten teachers and volunteers, we have, in effect, a census of early child development in Edmonton. To effectively use these results to strategically support early childhood development, seven volunteer Edmonton Early Years Coalitions have developed to blanket the city and actively promote early development in our communities.

The Early Years site is AspieDev’s first project using WordPress multisite – A network of eight sites that have been built together using a single technical framework, but can be separately updated and administered by each of the member Coalitions. This represents a major cost savings for the individual Coalitions, who do not need to each build their own separate sites.

Cycle for Autism is an annual event hosted by the Autism Society of Edmonton Area. Participants cycle, walk or run to raise money for people with autism in the Edmonton area.

The Cycle for Autism site includes a custom-built team management and online team profile system, as well as an online donation system. The 2015 event raised over $45,000 for autism programs and services, and a large portion of that money came in through online donations.

The North East Edmonton Early Childhood Development Coalition work together using current knowledge to inform, engage and inspire families and communities to support the development of young children in North East Edmonton.

The GRIT Program is an inclusive, early childhood program for young children with developmental disabilities 2½ – 5½ years of age. GRIT is based in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.

Families Forward is a mentorship support group facilitated by Gateway Association, for people caring for someone with an intellectual disabilities. It provides peer support through monthly meetings, family to family mentorship and provides an online community. The Families Forward website provides information on planning, creating a good life, numerous resources, and updates.

The site is built using Joomla!, and features built-in translation, a web forum, and a custom job posting and job application database.

“We Belong” is a movement driven by Gateway Association and their allies, promoting the basic rights of individuals with intellectual disabilities. These individuals and their families have been fighting too long to be part of neighbourhoods, to have respectful education, to obtain meaningful employment, to achieve mutual relationships, and to develop social circles. It is time for organizations, businesses and community members to unite and recognize that “We Belong”.
